Do you put eggs in tuna macaroni salad?
For this recipe, we included them (just like we include eggs in our Potato salad!), but it’s totally up to you. You could leave them out if you want.
How long is tuna macaroni salad good for in the fridge?
This tuna macaroni salad is good for up to 3 days in the fridge in a covered container. If the salad seems dry after a day or two, you can add 1-2 Tablespoons of milk or even 1-2 Tablespoons of mayonnaise to moisten it.
